No. The objective is to eliminate one of the two offending window circuits at a time, in hopes of identifying which window is the culprit. (It is possible the the circuit is shorted upstream from the switches, but not probable.)

Diagonally opposite windows share a common fuse, as you probably have figured out. Downstream from the fuse, each window is wired independently. From a given fuse, one wire goes to the left switch and one to the right switch.

If the problem turns out to be the rear window, it is easy to jumper the door switch to get the window up.
